We put rice cerealIn my sons bottles but it was for reflux. He was having trouble sttn and I introduced a dream feed between 10 and 11. I put him to bed around 7:30 and he gets the dream feed and he sleeps until 5 or 6. Without that bottle he's up at 2. HTH

Rice cereal in bottles, start off with a teaspoons worth and are how she goes, if still no good increase slightly until you find it fills her up and she sleeps really well! I did this with my son when he was 9 weeks old cause he was an extremely hungry baby and really unsettled... Needless to say once I started the rice cereal he started sleeping 10-12 hours a night... Yay for sleep. HTH

Before starting rice cereal in a bottle talk to the pediatrician. That is normally a non medical way to deal with reflux and is not proven as a way to make babies sleep. Rice cereal holds empty calories and holds no beneficial nutritional value. Some kids will wake to eat every few hours until 6 months, that is just a fact of life. Dream-feeding is great, but still interferes with your sleep. This is why some parents co-sleep. Just know your baby is normal, and many kids don't sleep thru the night until well into toddlerhood. Both a dietician and our pediatrician assured me still waking in the night, even after a year is normal.

My pediatrician said it was NEVER a good idea to put rice cereal in the bottle. I think your baby is normal- mine didn't sleep through the night until at least 5 months. There is a hormone that isn't even being produced until 12 weeks old- this hormone regulates periodsof being awake and asleep. Before that, babies just sleep all the time! It isn't until your baby can be awake for more than 2 hours before you can expect him to sleep. I was still nursing so dream feeds worked (around 10pm) but baby would wake around3am. I think that helped because I didn't have to wake all the way up.

I have a few suggestions but only for a formula fed baby: a 3 month old should get at least 28 ounces a day, try to get that in before bedtime. Don't immediately run to lo as soon as she cries, wait a few minutes to see if she will settle herself, if you do have to get up try not to pick her up, rub her belly in gentle circles, sing or talk softly, try not to feed her through the night. Sometimes just rocking her in a chair or walking around then laying her back down is enough. This worked for me anyway, lo started sleeping through the night at 2 months :) good luck!

Do not give ur baby rice cereal. She's 3 months old for crying out loud. Did u really expect her to be sleeping thru the night. If she's formula fed, try upping the amount in her bottles if she's already finishing the whole lot. Swaddle her so she feels secure. Only let her nap during the day and not within 1.5-2 hrs of when u want her in bed for the night. Also I co-sleep, which is not ideal for some, but my daughter has sttn from 8 weeks.

Oh I'm so sorry and I know how you feel. My son is 14 months, and has just started sleeping through the night...most of the time. I also have a daughter who is 15 months older than him. Between the two of them, there were nights that I seriously wanted to tear my hair out. My son even had to have rice cereal in his bottle because of his reflux. His doctor thought this was better than giving an infant medication and worked great but did nothing to help him sleep longer.

Some things that have worked for me...soft music playing in his room. When it is dead quiet (like when you are asleep) makes every little noise more jarring for the baby. Also, when he does get up, pacifier then change his diaper. Sometimes he will go back to sleep without a bottle this way. I found that when I ha e him a bottle, all it did was cause him to wake up from a wet diaper about a half hour later. So if you do give a bottle, try reducing how much a little at a time

I hope this helps. I feel so bad for you cause I know just how you feel. Even now, it seems like he has some sort of biometric tracker on me cause as soon as I lay down in bed, he cries.
